Aerocort Inhaler 1*200MDI

Product introduction
Aerocort Inhaler is used in the treatment of asthma (wheezing and shortness of breath). It relaxes the muscles of the air passages and makes it easier to breathe. Your doctor will tell you how often you need to use your inhaler. It’s important that you take the lowest dose needed to effectively control your asthma. The effect of this medicine may be noticeable after a few days but will only reach its maximum after a few weeks. This medicine must be used regularly to be effective, so continue taking it even if you don’t have any symptoms. If you stop taking it, your asthma may get worse. It should not be used to relieve sudden asthma attacks. If an asthma attack occurs, use your quick-relief inhaler (reliever). To get the full benefit, ensure you use the inhaler with the correct technique.

The most common side effects are hoarseness of voice, sore throat, fungal infection of the mouth, respiratory tract infection, headache, and muscle cramp. If you experience these, don’t stop taking it but consult your doctor. Rinsing your mouth and throat with water or brushing your teeth after using your inhaler may help prevent some of these effects. In general, avoid exposure to asthma triggers and try not to smoke.

Ask your doctor whether it’s safe to take this medicine if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. Before taking it, inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver disease so that a suitable dose can be prescribed.
